There has been intense scrutiny of the failure to translate preclinical studies in stroke. By contrast, much less attention has been directed to asking how treatments get from an early-phase to late-phase clinical trial. While much of the focus has been in stroke, a similar failure to translate has been all too common in other neurologic disorders.
Footnotes
